Hi my name is Georgia! I am a student at the Amigos school in Cambridge Massachussets!! Do you know what an ecosystem is? If

not, I can tell you all about it. I will even give examples. An ecosystem is a place where there are many plants & animals accustomed to

that place, like the beach, forest, arboretum and mountain range. i am learning about ponds in 6B at the Amigos school. Every day I

learn new things like who lives there and who eats what. Here is some stuff I have learned: leeches DO live in ponds; did you know that

plankton, a microscopic creature, lives in every water source? Think about that next time you swim! In most ponds about the size of a

car there are about 10,000,000,000 plankton living there ( in case you are wondering, i got this info at infoplease.com)? Bet that you didn't! :D
